A must watch, even if you are not a fan of the genre!

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2015)

It's one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. True, I haven't seen much of them to be a fair judge on this one, but... even an idiot can see that this is a great movie, even if you might dislike its genre or subject.
Although not a real zombie film (people are actually infected by the rage virus, but it makes them actually even more scarier than they would be as living corpses), it has all the elements of one.
Post-apocalyptic setting? Check. A group of survivors fighting to survive? Check. Great atmosphere that leaves people tense and jumpy? Check. Multiple enemies? Check.
And last, but not least...
A kinda scary realization one gets at the end about the whole rage thing. Great parallels between the main protagonist, Jim, and his enemies can be shown, which I can explain in detail if someone's interested.
Also... Music. Can we just mention music?
John Murphy's In the house - in a heartbeat is just a perfect music for the climax of this movie, and the usage of Godspeed Black Emperor!'s East Hastings, although shortened and including only one part, is haunting whilst the main character Jim walks the abandoned streets of London.
The whole movie was shot on DV (using Canon XL1 cameras), and it gave off the feeling of everything being more realistic, grittier, and after all, more believable.
Overall, I recommend this movie to everyone, even if you are not too fond of the horror genre. This is much more than that. It has elements of drama, post-apocalyptic movies, etc.
It is followed by the graphic novel 28 Days Later: The Aftermath which sets its story between this movie and its sequel 28 Weeks Later. Although not bad either, that movie is nowhere as great as the original, mostly due to the overuse of the shaky-cam and some unexplained things about the Infected, mostly regarding a character who had some memory preserved even after his infection.
28 Days Later gets 10/10 from me.
